Chapter 950: Martial Tournament
The Martial Tournament was held once every fifty years. Just like the past years, the tournament would be held at the gigantic plaza near the City Lord’s mansion. This plaza was much larger than the Underworld Plaza and was known as the Underworld Martial Square.
On this day, the place was already filled with crowds even though the tournament had not started yet.
There were millions of people living in the city, but only those who were at least at the Fifth Divine Martial Stage or had internal connections could watch. Despite that, the square was still packed. From the top, the whole place was covered in a dense, black sea of heads.
This was an event held by the city and was not related to the Underworld Army. Therefore, the city guards were in charge of maintaining order. Underworld City had hundreds of thousands of city guards, making them only slightly smaller than the Underworld Army.
The city guards were not as strong as the army, as the latter underwent militaristic training. However, they were strong enough to maintain order at an event like this one.
This year’s tournament was a little special, so it had drawn a larger crowd than usual. Many people were looking forward to watching it because the beautiful City Lord was recruiting a disciple.
This was a major event for all the medium and small cities under the jurisdiction of Underworld City. Ye Xuan was the strongest member of the Ye family, which controlled Underworld City. Anyone who became her disciple would see their status and abilities skyrocket.
More importantly, not only was she extraordinarily powerful, she was also so beautiful that she had become a goddess most people could only dream of. It would be heaven to be mentored by her.
The young citizens of the city who were no more than fifty years old and had reached the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage all joined this major event. Even many Underworld Soldiers joined the tournament, making the number of participants reach a shocking twenty thousand. It was not going to be easy to pick a champion out of this crowd.
